It’s been awhile since I have written my thoughts. It’s time to start again.

Today is Valentine’s Day and I was so reminded of how lucky I truly am. I know so many people say that and it kind of turns into something that doesn’t mean much.

My husband had to work tonight and I got to spend the afternoon with my little girl. All night she was the best. She was playful and so loving. When I was rocking her to sleep up in her room she was talking to me as I was singing to her. She had finally laid down on my chest and wrapped her sweet little arms around me and tapped both her hands on me over and over. Then about a minute later, she sat up and gave me a kiss and laid back down. It was like she was telling me goodnight.

I cannot explain how much I love her and thank God every day that I have her. He gave us exactly what we needed in life and I feel honored that he chose me to be her mommy.

Parenting is so hard and there are so many times when you feel like a failure. There are times when you second guess yourself about what you have decided or how you have chosen to raise them. I will always try to remember that as long as I am trying my best and loving her unconditionally, she will be an amazing adult someday and turn out just fine.

I love my little girl so much. There are no other words I can put together to explain motherhood.
